A Journal Dedicated to EntrepreneurshipThe Journal of Business Venturing: A Journal Dedicated to Entrepreneurship provides a scholarly forum for sharing useful and interesting theories, narratives, and interpretations of the antecedents, mechanisms, and/or consequences of entrepreneurship.This multi-disciplinary, multi-functional, and multi-contextual journal aspires to deepen our understanding of the entrepreneurial phenomenon in its myriad of forms. The journal publishes entrepreneurship research from (1) the disciplines of economics, psychology, and sociology and welcomes research from other disciplines such as anthropology, geography, history, and so on, (2) the functions of finance/accounting, management, marketing, and strategy and welcomes research from other functions such as operations, information technology, public policy, medicine, law, music, and so on, and (3) the contexts of international and sustainability (environmental and social) and welcomes research from other contexts such as high uncertainty, dynamism, time pressured, emotional, and so on.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Journal of Business Venturing Design

• ISSN: 2667-2774

Journal of Business Venturing Design publishes original works that advance both theoretical understanding and the practice of entrepreneurship. JBVD does so by regarding entrepreneurship as a form of design to be studied as a design science. Entrepreneurship as design is broadly defined as the iterative and uncertainty facing process of establishing a new "business" (or "opportunity", "venture", "startup" etc.), typically by working with various intermediate artifacts. Studying entrepreneurship as a design science means that the ultimate, if not immediate, goal of all contributions should be instrumental, i.e. the development of knowledge or tools that improve the art and skill of entrepreneurial design. In this sense, entrepreneurship is similar to other design sciences such as engineering and medicine. And much like these fields draw on the physical and life sciences, entrepreneurship (and management more generally) in part relies on explanatory and descriptive knowledge produced in various social science disciplines. There is also potential in interdisciplinary contributions that relate entrepreneurial design to insights from other design science disciplines, such as product design, service design, organization design, software design, and information systems design.Importantly, the focus on instrumental knowledge does not imply that explanatory or descriptive research will not be published. It does, however, mean that such works should explicitly aim toward the development of more instrumental knowledge or tools. To illustrate, explanatory research seeking a general causal mechanism on the form 'X causes A under condition B' can be turned into an instrumental design principle if X can be manipulated with predictable results. Similarly, descriptive research seeking patterns in the details of specific situations may be turned in to design principles by gradually producing better understandings of how elements of the situation relate to one and other.The instrumentality of design science highlights its ethical dimension. As opposed to purely descriptive or explanatory sciences, design science more directly helps manipulate the world in particular directions, suggesting that design scientists have a potential moral responsibility for the knowledge and tools developed.Constrained by the above, JBVD publishes high-quality conceptual and empirical works - regardless of disciplinary origins or methodological orientation - that advance our knowledge of entrepreneurship as design. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:Conceptual issues such as: how entrepreneurship can be theorized as a form of design; how constructs, models, and methods for design can be developed from explanatory and descriptive research (e.g. explanatory causal mechanisms and descriptive case studies); how the materiality of design artifacts influences entrepreneurial practice; how design science research can be validated; how the ethical dimensions of entrepreneurial design research can be understood; and how general design principles relate to specific practices.Empirical issues such as: studies proposing new constructs, models, and methods for design; tests and refinements of proposed constructs, models, and methods (e.g. using simulations, longitudinal case studies, field-experiments, and action research); descriptive studies of the use of specific tools and artifacts in entrepreneurial practice (e.g. business model frameworks, software development kits, product prototypes, pitches).In addition to conceptual and empirical research that advance our knowledge of entrepreneurship as design, such advancement can also take the form of more immediately useful tools. In addition to traditional papers, JBVD will therefore publish work that introduces and evaluates tools and methods grounded in design science research. These can include, but are not limited to, the following kinds:Business analysis frameworks (e.g. industry analysis tools, business model templates).Business design algorithms or heuristics (e.g. methods for entrepreneurial experimentation and transformation).Pedagogical materials (e.g. examples of specific tools and materials for teaching entrepreneurial design in different contexts).

Journal of Business Venturing Insights

• ISSN: 2352-6734

Journal of Business Venturing Insights (JBV Insights) publishes thought-provoking research, highlighting novel ideas at the forefront of current discussions of entrepreneurial phenomena. Such ideas are extremely valuable as they can stimulate further necessary research.JBV Insights offers a platform for multiple disciplinary works and unconventional and silent scholarly voices. The journal is open to different disciplines and perspectives and thus welcomes papers that bring into entrepreneurship research ideas from within and beyond management scholarship, including the broader social and natural sciences. JBV Insights is also open to innovative methods and forms of theorizing. Through many of its initiatives, JBV Insights additionally aims to enhance the conversation among scholars and practitioners by offering a forum to disseminate novel and relevant entrepreneurship research rapidly.JBV Insights' review process balances speed and rigor to ensure that novel ideas and robust studies are promptly available to the public. We aim to have manuscripts with the journal for no longer than three months (from submission to online publication [or rejection]). Manuscripts will be concise and widely available online via ScienceDirect. Articles should not exceed 12 double spaced pages of text in 12 font, excluding references, tables and figures. Reference lists, tables, and figures should be on separate sheet.JBV Insights welcomes three types of submissions.Regular submissions: JBV Insights continuously welcomes submissions that align with its mission, offering innovative research and inspiring concepts geared toward the interests of entrepreneurship researchers. The journal is open to a variety of research approaches. Empirical submissions are greatly appreciated, and these could include elements such as unusual findings, atheoretical descriptions, non-findings, or the replication of established relationships. Furthermore, JBV Insights also welcomes single experiments that offer innovative perspectives. The journal also encourages theoretical submissions that stimulate thought and discussion through interesting examples or insightful juxtapositions. Other regular submissions might include simulations of entrepreneurial phenomena, papers developing measurement scales, and other methodological advances. Above all, JBV Insights aims to be as open as possible to different research approaches as long as they align with its mission to publish thought-provoking research.Translational research: Translational research refers to distinct research activities where critical insights are passed between research modes so that discoveries made in basic social science can lead to improvements in entrepreneurial practice, communities and policy. Translational research in JBVI will thus translate descriptive propositional statements of facts and relationships that comprise theoretical knowledge into normative relationships between means and ends that provide actionable guides for practice. Translational research submission can include problematization, rapid response research, prospective inquiry, design science, participatory research, evidence reviews, among others. For more information about the Translational Research section, please take a look at the A translational framework for entrepreneurship research article, the design science initiative, the ER3 initiative and the Entrepreneurial problems and scholarly impact special issue.Meaningful heterodoxies: This section aims to enhance scholarly conversations surrounding practices and processes in entrepreneurship that characteristically cut against the grain of conventional wisdom or majority opinion. This section offers a forum for the publication of cutting-edge scholarship related to nonconformist and dissenting experiences, circumstances, beliefs, taboos, cultures, and subcultures that entrepreneurs are immersed within that influence entrepreneurship. Note: For more information about the Meaningful Heterodoxies section, please take a look at the call for papers and the Editorial: "Meaningful Heterodoxies: Advancing Entrepreneurship Research Through Engagement with Unorthodox Customs, Beliefs, Cultural Dynamics, and Phenomena"Section editors: Robert Pidduck and Reg Tucker.
